The draw's opening up for us to cruise our way to victory like the 23-24 Conference League.

Beat Bologna, beat Forest and then hope it isn't Mortensen in the final as they always knock us out.

Porto or Forest.

About time we played one of the Portuguese big guns.

That said, if you're a Bologna player/fan and you get a result like that tonight you might feel your name's on the cup.

Not that big of a shock, 8th beat 6th. And Roma are in awful form.

Are we happy…. So far?

Of course, there should be more pun opportunities with Italian meats than with the films of Alfonso Cuarón.

Bookies thinking that way. Most of them have us 7/4 shots to win it. We were probably shorter to win the CL at this stage back in 23/24.

Looking at Head to Head, seems like Roma have only won 1 of the last 8 meetings with Bologna.

I hope we don't have to play Porto. I can't stand Portuguese teams or players. They just seem to be the most shameless, persistent cheats which is unfortunate because they are good at football when they are not pissing about.

The other big news from last night is that we get to continue to watch Fiorentinas now 4 season long fruitless mission to try and win the Europa Conference League. You just wonder how they’ll mess it up this time.

No fines for blowing hundreds of Palestinian footballers to bits?

I'd rather play Porto than Forest. Nice away trip for the fans and losing to them (should it happen) would be less depressing. Despite their troubles this season, I'd still be wary of Forest over the two legs.

Probably when Forest beat them comfortably, like they did earlier in the season at a time when Forest were worse and Porto were better than both are now.
